Baja fossils?



Can anyone help figure out what kind of large vertebrate fossils were 
observed by early Spanish missionaries in Baja? Dinosaur fossils occur in the 
El Gallo Formation on the north Pacific coast, but I have not been able to 
locate the " the oasis called Kadakaamang." At the oasis, the missionaries 
dug up giant skeleton after some bones were revealed by a flood. The entire 
vertebra was found, a long arm bone (broken) , a partial thigh bone, several 
teeth, and a large fragment of the cranium. The femur fragment  was about 2 
feet long. The size of the bones led the finders to guess the creature 
extended about 11 feet.

Any knowledge of this oasis or ideas about the probable identity of the 
skeleton will be much appreciated!
